Additional Historical Fisheries Information From ADDITIONAL HISTORICAL FISHERIES INFORMATION FROM THE MUSKWA-KECHIKA MANAGEMENT AREA Prepared By: Alicia D. Woods Woods Environmental Consulting SS#2 Site 13 Comp 17 Fort St. John, BC V1J 4M7 For: Fisheries Branch Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection Rm. 400 10003-110th Avenue Fort St. John, BC V1J 6M7 December 2001 Muskwa-Kechika Historical Fisheries Research Project 2001 SUMMARY The primary purpose of this research project was to compile and preserve historical fisheries information from within the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. This is the second year of the project, and this report will outline the information obtained from the 2001 study year. The purpose of the first year of research was to learn more about the stocking and transplanting of fish that occurred historically in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. The project soon began to gather a wide variety of historical fisheries information. This year, the goal of the project was try and obtain information that was not collected previously as well as to broaden the aspects of this project by including the historical aboriginal uses of fish in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. The Fisheries Section Head, Fort St. John, obtained funding for this project through an application to the Muskwa-Kechika Trust Fund. ACKNOWLEDMENTS I would like to thank Nick Baccante, Jeff Burrows, Paul Mitchell-Banks, and Rachelle Woods for their assistance with this project. I also would like to express my appreciation and thanks to all the residents, Guide Outfitters and First Nations of northeastern British Columbia for allowing me to come into their homes and sharing with me a part of their past.

The management area now encompasses a large portion of northern British Columbia, and more attention is being drawn to the many resources within the management area. In a case such as the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (MKMA), special planning and regulations are used to ensure the preservation of the land in conjunction with the extraction of natural resources. The purpose of this project is to discover, preserve and provide historical fisheries information in order to increase the base of fisheries information from the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. This project was initiated in the spring of 2000, and this document is a continuation to provide a more complete information database. This year’s report includes the aboriginal use of fisheries in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area as well as additional general fisheries information. Topics covered in the report include the introductions and transplanting of fish, how

  • 20. Aboriginal Rights and Interests Effects
    20. ASSESSMENT OF ABORIGINAL AND TREATY RIGHTS AND RELATED INTERESTS 20.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses potential adverse effects on Aboriginal and Treaty rights and related interests which may arise from the Project during construction, operations, decommissioning/reclamation, and post-closure. Underground mining activities have the potential to adversely affect Aboriginal and Treaty rights by interfering with Aboriginal groups’ ability to engage in practices, customs, and traditions that are integral to their distinctive cultures, and/or by interfering with the exercise of rights expressly recognized in a treaty. Interference with Aboriginal and Treaty rights is generally indirect, resulting from changes to environmental conditions that are necessary for the continued exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The assessment is based on information derived from the Proponent’s engagement with potentially- affected Aboriginal groups, environmental assessments carried out elsewhere in the Application/EIS, and the review of secondary data. Wherever possible, the assessment addresses potential effects on Aboriginal and treaty rights and related interests as understood from the perspective of the Aboriginal groups in question. Baseline reports informing this assessment are appended to the Application/EIS and include: Ethnographic Overview and Traditional Knowledge and Use Desk-Based Research Report (Appendix 17-A) and Saulteau First Nations Knowledge and Use Study for HD Mining Murray River Coal Project (Appendix 17-B). 20.2 REGULATORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK The Crown has a legal duty to consult with and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal interests when it contemplates a conduct that might adversely impact the potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty right. The Crown delegated procedural aspects of this duty, with respect to the Project, to the Proponent through the Section 11 Order and EIS Guidelines.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.
